Pants or Shorts or Zip off Convertible Pants?
My personal choice is to wear unzippable hiking pants. Why? 1.) Sun protection. I don't see any use or need to unnecessarily expose my skin to harmful sun rays for any extended length of time. 2.)

Hiking Shoes vs. Boots -- One Experience
My opinion here, based on my Camino, and you only need ONE pair of comfortable, broken-in boots, and ONE pair of sandals (optional for ultra-light hikers, but preferable for comfort after long day of hiking).

Sleeping Bag Liners
Just wanted to add to this thread. If you're planning on staying in hotels, I'd take a sleeping bag liner (super light and compact), at the very least, just as a precaution on the off chance you'll need to stay at an albuerge that doesn't have blankets, especially if you're walking in the...- JohanNilsenNagel
